Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university. Fast-forward to one year later, and seven Kingsland students will be graduating high school with both their High School Diploma and AA Degree thanks to the collaboration of Riverland Community College and Kingsland High School for allowing high school students to take college-level courses in high school and receive college credit for them. Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might
• Reimbursement of up to 75% of tuition costs for up to 15 college credits per fiscal year (1 October to 30 September)
I am reaching out to you as my second to last resort option. As I have tried to already reach out to other people in your office for help in this matter with no help or advice other then what I have already done and that’s was that. So if I am not able to resolve this matter with or get a better understanding with it I may just have to take it to the governor. I am completely lost and confused about the whole graduation requirements and how it’s such a blurry line for transfer students from one community college to another. There is no clear cut guidance and support with nobody in counseling or administration or registration on the same page on what the student needs to do in order to graduate so the student is left to fend for them self’s.
Community college is a great institution for students to start their educational journey. Especially when they do not have the funds or lack some of the prerequisite that a university would require. Community college was created to serve the community, traditional and non-traditional students with the best higher education and lifetime learning opportunities. The faculty and staff members at a community college is there to provide leadership in education while going above and beyond to recognize the needs of the students and the community by providing excellent educational programs and support services that are available to all who have the opportunity to take advantage of them. “Student services now include recruitment and retention, counseling, student activities, student health, financial aid, academic support, career centers, transfer centers, and supplemental services such as transportation, child care, and services tailored for specific populations of students” (Cohen, Brawer, & Krisker, 2014, pg. 209). My philosophy in fulfilling the role and mission of the community college, is to establish the mission, vision, goals and values to guide all students on their journey to strive to become successful both in school and in today’s economy.
When an organization builds trust, customers will beat a path to their cash register. One way that Anne Arundel Community college builds trust is through their affordability. AACC charged the lowest tuition and fees of its four peer community colleges in fiscal year 2016. It also offers a free tuition payment plan that allows students to spread the cost of their education throughout the semester. The college believes no student should be prevented from attending because of limited financial resources. Many students receive financial aid through a combination of need-based federal and state grants, federal student and parent loans, employment through the Federal Work-Study and Institutional Student Employment Programs, interest free payment plans, or an extensive list of institutional, community and state scholarship funds. Because of the variety of financial options, the class of 2016 saw a record 2,340 students graduate with 1,154 certificates and 1,850 degrees.
School is an expensive investment in one’s future, and the financial aid office enables students to pursue higher education by providing financial assistance through fee waivers, grants, and federal loans. The cost of education varies widely depending on the type of degree or certificate program the student is pursuing, as well as the type of school the student is attending. Cypress College is a two year institution which allows students to transfer to a four year university or to obtain a certificate in their vocation of choice. Although Cypress College is affordable compared to four year universities and other private colleges, the cost of school is still a heavy burden for most students and their families. Through the financial aid office
Cypress College has an array of services for students to take advantage and make use of to purse their academic goals. For many students, like myself, the goal is to transfer to a CSU or UC. Fortunate enough, students at Cypress College have the benefit of accessing the transfer center to ensure one is taking the correct course and have a smooth transition from Cypress College to the university of choice, as stated on www.cypresscollege.edu/services/transfer. The transfer center offers individual counseling, general education coursework check-sheets, and online transfer planning resources and link to ensure student success and extending their education to university level.
I am thankful for this transfer seminar class, because if I didn’t have it I would not be aware of all of the wonderful events that take place at GCU and how involved you can be. The process of adjusting to GCU took me a few weeks, but I finally feel like I figured it out and I’m getting used to the way things are done and the GCU way, I couldn't be more pride to be a Georgian Court University

I submitted my transcript to admissons a couple weeks ago, but my UCF account still has not updated with the 3 classes I took this summer.

My plan for life begins with going to North Carolina Central University for two years. Currently, I’m at Vance Granville Community College to receive my associates in science, participating at Vance Granville will help me acquire my necessary prerequisites for college’s I’ve looked
First, Saving money is a top priority. Going to Community College saves students money, but it doesn’t mean students will be paying a tiny small portion. It
The first strength that the CNM Financial Aid Office has is related to inventory two. As stated by NASPA, (n.d.), “Good practice in student affairs helps develop coherent values and ethical standards” (p.6). As a two-year community college, the standards set by the CNM FAO fall in-line with the federal guidelines, which entail apply ethical standards to their decision. This is important, especially to those decisions that require staff to make professional judgments, such as standard academic policy. This falls in line with one of the seven values “essential to the profession” (Schuh, Jones, & Harper, 2011, p. 82). The value being justice, in which the professional judgment requires the “upholding of moral and legal principles” (Schuh et al., 2011, p.
There isn't anything more important to community colleges than the certainty that they can and should provide all qualified people who are looking to be accepted with admittance (Vaughan). The people of the community college represent forty-four percent of all undergraduates and forty-nine percent of students attending college for the first time (David). These students include a lot of minority students, students with a low social standing and the non-standard (age twenty-five and older) student who commonly enters college less academically equipped (David). Most community colleges have made immense advancement in reducing a lot of geographical and economic blockades that have in the past limited college admittance (David). Community
The ultimate objective of a community college is to help people to better themselves through education, it is imperative that the college cannot do this by itself; it has to have the aid from the community where it is.
The first reason for attending a community college is enhanced academic quality. In fact, nowadays community colleges have greatly raised academic standards with the intent of suiting all the students’ needs. In fact, if someone is serious with understanding what is offered in community colleges nowadays, there is no doubt that one leaves the institution with the required skills for approaching life.
